Roundware
Developed by artist Halsey Burgund and a crew of developer friends, Roundware: http://www.roundware.org/ is a Linux-based, opensource platform that runs in Python for developing audio and video experiences. The project does not contain much documentation, but the code is available via SourceForge and in an SVN repository.
From the Roundware site:
Roundware is a flexible, open-source interactive audio platform which can be used to create unique participatory audio experiences. Initially developed for sound art installations, Roundware has been used for museum audio tours as well as other educational purposes.
* Roundware creates a seamless location-sensitive layer of audio comprised of musical elements and participant commentary in any geographic space.
* Roundware organizes an ever-growing collection of audio information such that it can be accessed in both educational and artistic ways.
* Roundware serves individualized audio streams to users in a flexible non-linear way based on participant inputs.
Currently, they have developed clients for iPhone, Android and web browsers.
Sample projects built with Roundware include: Scapes, Ocean Voices, and Round
